User Review

A very enjoyable Dark comedy

Rating: 9/10


After going through a disappointing summer movie line up this year "
2011 " so far, i was more than happy when i found this film playing in
a theater near by.

And after watching this very enjoyable movie, i was left surprised in
why it had a very limited release ? unlike most big budget summer
movies, this movie focused on substance rather than style. it had a
very engaging story that unfolds in a very intriguing way.

the story is that of a well known Pastor played by Pierce Brosnan who
gets involved in a debate with a disbeliever and writer played by Ed
Harris, soon after, the pastor gets involved in a sinful accident and
tries to use his religious influences to get himself out. stuck in the
middle of all this, is an ex-deadhead played by Greg Kinnear.

the Characters and acting were the best thing in the movie, a wonderful
cast lead by Pierce Brosnan, Greg Kinnear, Ed Harris, Jennifer Connely
and Marisa TOmey. they all deliver very memorable performances, and
they added a lot to their characters. the characters were fun and
seemed very familiar, easy to identify with.

the film was more of a dark comedy, very funny and laugh out loud
moments involving religion, relationships and even murder.

I am just so surprised with the limited release, this film deserves a
wider release and should reach more audience. I highly recommend this.
